CAS Butterfly Thank You



I had fun today designing a thank you card using the current CTS #163 designed by Chrissy Larson.


I used SU Wildflower Fields DSP from the SAB catty and a SU retired Washi Tape.  I then used SU markers to ink up my STAMPlorations "Mini Mixed Media Backgrounds" stamp and spritzed with water to give it a Watercolor look.  I stamped my SU "Papillon Potpourri" butterfly using Memento Tuxedo light grey ink and colored with SU markers: Calypso Coral, Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.  Spritzed with water and then punched out with my SU Elegant Butterfly punch.

I shaped my butterfly with my bone folder, added gel medium for a bit of gloss and clear Wink of Stella for glitter and attached with dimensionals.

Adding my Simon Says Stamp "Lots of Thanks" sentiment for the final touch.

I am adding my card to several more favorite Challenges.









Card Recipe:

Stamps: STAMPlorations "Mini Mixed Media BGs", Simon Says Samp "Lots of Thanks", SU "Papillon Potpourri"

Inks:  Memento London Fog, SU markers: Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Calypso Coral.  SU Blackberry Bliss ink pad

Paper:  Whisper White Thick, SU Wildflower Fields DSP

    Whoops, I missed the deadline to link my new card to the Addicted to Stamps and More #184 Challenge. We were at our local jazz festival all weekend. Guess I will have to start using the Schedule feature..lol!

    Thank you for looking at my card and blog. I am so thrilled to see your comments too :-) Happy Stamping, Nancy

    This is so pretty and love how you used the sketch for your design. The little dots under the butterfly look so good and you used such beautiful papers. So wonderful to see you at TIME OUT!!
